3.150.000.000.004.117.26

I was given the okay to run a few miles as ordered by my PT and at first I was a little worried as it was pretty tight but it seemed to get better the further I ran so that was a good thing. I was only suppose to go a couple of miles but ended up going 3.15 and I felt like I could have gone more but I am trying to play it smart. After the run I jumped on the elliptical and ran 4.11 miles in 40 minutes, my HR average was above 150 for the duration on that run. My average pace for the run was 8:37 with a total time of 27:01... The real rest will be tomorrow to see how the calf has handled today's workout and then go from there, but it seemed the longer I was into every thing the better it felt so I am hoping it is finally getting loosened up and back to normal. I guess tomorrow will tell the story, goo or bad:)

Later.

Late night run on the elliptical, 3.10 in 30 minutes and I was sweatin machine! Calf felt okay and I wanted to run on it this morning but I had to be in salt lake for some meetings and so that was a no go and then i just didn't have time after work to get any kind of run in... hopefully tomorrow.

Later.

I ran out towards Mini GU and then back to the house, I then ran Ethan to Cross country and then came home and tacked on a couple of more miles out to the old barn and back. The Calf seemed to do pretty good and it seemed to do better the further that I ran, but I know I need to play it safe and not over do it. I will see how it feels in the morning and then go from there, hopefully I will be able to run the same tomorrow! After the run i did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups, my average pace was 8:39 with my total time at 1:03:09.

See ya tomorrow.

7.300.000.000.000.007.30

I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning, I have kind of lost my mojo as of late but I was able to finally get up and get out the door. I ran out past mini Gu and then back to the house all via canal road, on the way back I stopped to adjust my glasses and I thought I turned off my watch but I didn't so then when I started running again I actually stopped it so then my miles and time were all screwed up, very frustrating! I know I ran the same distance as yesterday and My average pace was about the same so I will go off that. Total time was 1:03:30 and my average pace was 8:38. I'm glad I got her done this morning.

 See ya tomorrow.

Just a nice easy run today, not concerned about pace I just wanted to enjoy the morning... I took Ethan to cross country and then I did the run after I dropped him off, out past the old barn towards Payson and my average pace was nice and easy like I said at 8:45 with a total time of 35:31.  My calf felt pretty good today and I am hoping that I am on the other side of this little blip in the road, I want to get back to running some hills. Hopefully next week.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to GU corner and then I ran into Pat Loss and Ken Krause and I ran back to the stake center with them good times and good conversation. After getting a drink there I ran back to the house to my water but someone had drank half of it, don't know who, but I was glad that they left at least half. HAHA. After my drink I ran out past the old barn on canal road and then back to the house to round out the 11 miles, my average pace was 8:35 with my total time at 1:34:59. I wasn't sure what to expect today with my calf but it handled the pace and the mileage pretty good, I was getting tired towards the end.  I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that I ran yesterday and I also walked 18 holes of golf so I was pretty tired from yesterday. Next week will be a little  unproductive as I will be at Trek with the stake and the youth so I won't be able to run Thursday thru Saturday, so I will lose some there. I will be walking 6 to 7 miles a day so I guess that will make for some good workouts, but its not the same as running. Oh well its for a good cause and it should be interesting to see how everyone does.

See ya Monday.
